Title: Active Directory (LDAP)
I did not use SSL.
 
We've not only drank the microsoft kool-aid, we're swimming in it. AD will be THE directory here for quite some time...
 
Still want the code?

Hmm,
 
That *is* interesting. I'd be interested in your code too ... I assume that you did this over SSL?
 
Portability is *the* reason I chose not to use Win32::OLE. Additionally, even if you are not deploying on another platform, you need to deal with some idiosyncrasies of ADSI - especially if you later want to re-use the code to connect to non-AD LDAP Provider.

I've done both, and so far, I've not seen much to recommend using Net::LDAP over the Win32::OLE and ADSI. Portability would be about the only thing I can think of.
 
Net::LDAP works just fine for AD work, but it is relatively slow (it is pure perl), and you can't use integrated authentication.
 
I have an app that reads phone, address, pager, etc data from an Oracle database, and updates users in AD via Net::LDAP. It's yours if you want it.

I use Win32::OLE and ADSI COM calls for my AD work.

Does anyone have any experience using perl to connect to Windows Active directory?  I need to think about putting together a sort of proof of concept app which would illustrate that we can successfully leverage it.  Is Net::Ldap the way to go here?
